While looking at a Farthing date set put together long ago, I noticed that a notation by the 1733 that BRITANNIA was mis-spelled BHITANNIA.

A search for a typical 1733 on the Web brought up this picture -

Please notice that here too, the R looks like an H.

Perhaps the legend on this type was put too close to the coin's edge?
